That's what you'll think, when you remember your first dance, your wedding dance. On that day, you'll be a
couple in matrimony ...one in heart, body and soul. Your first dance. Every other dance will be wonderful, but
only this dance, will be your first wedding dance. This dance is an investment in yourselves and your future.
It's also most likely one of the top things you'll (fondly) remember about your reception. It's a challenge, a
greenhouse of growth for you both as you work together, and your first public dance as Husband and Wife!
We are honored that you are considering us for your first dance wedding dance, and we would love to work
with you and your fiancé'. We provide professional dance instruction, choreography, etiquette, music
consultation and many other wedding and reception-related services. (These include DJing, planning and
producing your event, photography and even videography--stop by or call for more information).
"But, where do I begin?" you might ask?
We recommend a first appointment to review the details of your reception and first dance choreography and to
offer a taste of what learning from us is like. We have a proprietary process to help you arrive at the very best
and well-suited dance for you both, that will be fun, exciting, balanced with the other aspects of your event,
and will be all you've dreamed it can be.
A word for the guys: Men and women come to the world of dance from different places. We, as guys, learn
differently than women, and typically have little or no dance background. Our teaching methods are different
for men and women and we tailor the lessons so that you as the groom learn how to be a confident and
effective leader on the dance floor, and your bride learns to be the most graceful and lovely follower. Together,
not only will you have learned to make a wonderful and beautiful production for yourselves and your guests,
but you'll have added to the foundation of respect, love, teamwork and success that your marriage will be built
upon for years and years to come.

"David was able to take me from not being able to hear a beat and move with rhythm, to being
able to dance my first dance with my wife with confidence. His patience and teaching technique
are wonderful." ~David
"David was able to teach me and my fiancé some really cool dance moves. The only regret is that
we didn't start taking dance lessons earlier." ~Carlotta
"We discovered David Thompson during a search for someone to help make our
first dance at our wedding extra special. His enthusiasm in our initial conversation
was infectious and we were excited to begin lessons! We began our lessons with a
complete lack of dance ability, an indecisive attitude and a song choice that
proved to be a challenge to choreograph a dance to. Up for the challenge, David
was wonderfully patient and quick with ideas for us to choose from. He did an
excellent job of assessing where we were with out ability and what we wanted to
achieve in the time allowed. He began by teaching us a basic foundation to begin
with and then built upon that foundation each lesson to it was easy for us to learn
with limited time to practice outside of lessons. After just several weeks of lessons,
we were able to perform a unique special first dance at our wedding thanks to
David's help. David clearly has a passion for dance and working with people! We
looked forward to our lessons each week and hope to continue to have them
recreationally in the future. I would highly recommend David based on his
demeanor, talent, and passion for what he does!!" ~Chris and Emily
Once my fiancé and I got engaged, I quickly began to dread the "first dance" experience. See, I had learned to
cook so that I would have some romantic tools at my disposal without having to learn to dance, and
considered the fact that I would have to dance anyway as just one more instance of Murphy's Law giving me
grief. This was mostly due to the fact that I lacked the ability to clap in time to a piece of music and moved
with all the grace of a drunken three-legged cow or an extremely
cheap robot. Less than three months later, I still have trouble clapping in time - but thanks to David's flexible
approach to teaching, dancing now feels almost natural to me. David never lost his patience with me, despite
the fact that on several occasions my brain literally shut down from the
stress of having to tell multiple parts of my body to move at the same time. Another nice thing is that we
learned a style of dance appropriate for the song my fiancé chose (East Coast Swing), and not
just a rigid, set routine for that one song. As a result, we are considering continuing to dance after our
wedding is over with for fun -which is truly a miracle. ~Mike
Mike and I decided to take dance lessons for our first dance with our only goal being this: we wanted to
do more than sway awkwardly for 3 minutes. I was expecting the lessons to be uncomfortable and rigid,
and was generally dreading the experience. Neither one of us had any previous dance experience, and we
were so nervous before our first lesson that we almost left the studio before it even began! David put us
at ease from the moment we walked in. He listened to the music we brought for ideas, and suggested
that one of the songs we had chosen would be perfect for east coast swing. We both loved the idea of
having a first dance that was light and fun, but seriously doubted our ability to become swing dancers in
mere months.
Much to my surprise, we both had so much fun with this experience. Rather than focusing on teaching
us a rigid routine, David focused on first teaching us the basics, then building on the basics while helping
us to work better as a team. His teaching method was fantastic for us, and especially for Mike. Mike had
no previous musical background, and still can't tap his foot in time, but David made him a dancer in 2
months!
He also encouraged us not to take the dance too seriously, but rather to have fun with it. I think one of
the best things we took away from our lessons was not being able to dance to our song – I'm sure many
dance instructors could have taught us that – but the ability to enjoy the dance and make it our own.
For something we were both dreading, I am now looking forward to our first dance more than anything
else in our upcoming wedding. Our dance does not feel like a "performance". It feels like us, and that is
exactly what we wanted.
I would highly recommend David to any couple looking to take lessons for their first dance. I would have
never thought we would be able to come this far in such a short time, or that we would enjoy the
learning process as much as we have. For a couple that started with four left feet, we are excited to
continue dancing after the wedding. David didn't just teach us to dance, he taught us to love dancing
together! ~Shelly
Hello from Georgia!
Michael and I are very much enjoying our honeymoon in the Georgia mountains- lovely cabin,
fireplace, hot tub, and not much to do. It's great. Hope you and Nicole enjoyed the holidays with
your families.
Our photos are up on our photographer's blog, and I thought you'd be excited to see that our dance
made her "favorite things" list! There is a series of photos from the dance both in the blog entry
and in the slideshow. Hooray! I also made a comment including your name and Dance Pizazz so
that people can hopefully find you if they want to take lessons. Amy's blog is great publicity. Check
it out at www.silverboxphotographers.blogspot.com
We really did have a wonderful time dancing. The first dance was a surprise for most people, and
you can tell from the faces in the background of the photos that they loved it. Betts (my sister) led
the crowd in whooping and cheering, and as we went into the first two-way underarm turn, I thought
the house was going to come down. It was awesome.
Michael's grandmother was unable to make it to the wedding, but apparently everyone told her that
the first dance was just amazing, and when we went down to her house for Christmas, she got us to
clear all the furniture out of her kitchen and we put on our CD and danced in her kitchen so she
could see it. Even with a linoleum floor, crappy shoes, and a refrigerator in the way, she thought it
was terrific.
And Michael brought a CD with our music (and Save the Last Dance) on our honeymoon so we can
dance here too- proof positive that he DID actually have fun!
So THANK YOU!!! for your part in the wedding. We had a truly wonderful time the whole night, and
the dance was definitely one of the top moments. I hope you and Nicole have as much fun at yours
as we did.
All the best and happy 2009!
Katie (and Michael)
Coming in not knowing how to dance together at all really helped us learn how to work
together and take cues from each other. I am so extremely excited about our first dance
now, where as before I think we were terrified to be in front of so many friends and family.
These pre-wedding dance lessons have really given us an opportunity to connect as a couple
and take some much needed breaks from all of our wedding planning frenzy. We both thank
David so much for all of the time he spent helping us perfect our first dance! -Jenny Knight
The studio was 30 minutes away from our home in University City; however, the experience
was well worth the drive. David's patient teaching style helped us to become confident and
comfortable with our wedding dance. I had never really danced before and by the end of
the lessons I was confident about our wedding day and was having a lot of fun learning
something new with my fiance. Thanks again! -Brian Huck

Bridal Registry

Why not get your wedding reception started off the same way! We’re announcing the launch of our new
Wedding Registry at Dance Pizazz. Just think: you’ve always wanted a good wedding dance (com’on and
admit it…maybe even an “Awesome!” one); you need to do more than wobble right? Well, of course you do!
You wouldn’t put a 50 cent boutineer on your man would you? And who would be a happy bride if she didn’t
get the best either.
So, here’s the deal: You (maybe your partner more than you, lol) need to learn how to have that “awesome”
first dance, and get the coaching you need. You also need some help. Why not add Dance Pizazz’s Wedding
Registry to your list?
You get the best of both worlds! You get the best dance training money can buy, and your friends and family
get to help you pay for it! Plus, this is the gift you get IN ADVANCE. This gift will become yours from 1-6 months
in advance of your wedding, so you have time to prepare properly for your dance and event. Your family and
friends and guests will be amazed, and they will see the results of their contribution to your first public
presentation and Mister and Misses!
